I followed the sketch from once upon a sketch and used the whole color combination.
For the background I used watercolor paint and I stamped with gesso and stazon black.
In this layout I made a photo transfer with matte gel medium and varnished it with acrylic varnish.

My evidence: leaves, wings, map print behind the photo, star behind the leaves
My testimony: My inspiration word is fly and I used a printable prompt for my journaling: "Always dream big, fly high, and reach the top." It fits to the photo where my daughter is swinging in a hammock.

In my art journal you can see on the left side a normal day in our life, also on saturday. It's a life with two little childs. They determine most of the time, we have trouble and chaos, we have fun and happiness. On the right side are some characteristics of my two little minimonster, like cuddly, beloved, shining, sweet, funny....

Great color combi, ins't it? I followed the sketch and used the printables. Loved the prompt "My daily routine: get up, be amazing, go back to bed." and used it for my journaling.
From evidence: bird, flower, misting, border.
From testimony: IW daily

The background is made with the layering technique. I used masking tape, watercolor paint, gesso, NeocolorII, crackle paint and scraps of newspaper and tissue paper to produce different layers. This turned out to be a nice vintage look. Since we life in a modern world I combined modern with vintage elements.

I love to scrap about my daughters, they are my inspiration and gave me a lot of power. The older one is a little devil sometimes and she is a real teaser. So funny things she's doing and saying all the time. And her favorite play is to be a princess in a castle...

I made these layouts with lots of paper scraps and blended with gesso. My new tool is a special brush to sprinkle paint splutter. Very nice but the wall behind my workspace has now sprinkles too... ;-(
